I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to post again. It was a hectic few weeks here. Following Mother's Day, I felt like I needed to make the most of the time that I had left with Asher. I will comment on that later. First, me, nothing really new with me. I am anxiously awaiting word on official dates that Jake will be home. I got a piercing as a weightloss goal reward the other day. Other than that, I am the boring one of our family.
Asher is now in Hawaii for the next 7 weeks with his bio dad. :( He is missing home but I am sure he will have a wonderful time as soon as he adapts. He turned 5 years old last week. We had a military theme birthday complete with a cake shaped like the USS Fort Mchenry, the ship Jake is on. I don't have the pictures from it available just yet. He got to go on a helicopter ride as a gift from us. He loved it so much, he's asking to go every year. He also graduated from Pre-K. His school had a program and it was adorable! Can't believe we have a kindergartner in our house He has been such a silly and loving boy and I miss him so much! These next 7 weeks can not go by fast enough!!
Tucker is growing like a weed. He is wearing 12 month clothes. They are slightly big on him but not too bad. He is sitting up and can pull himself to sitting if someone holds his feet. His favorite toy is a pink soft spoon. He loves to chew on it. He is a drooler and chewer but still no teeth. He now has eaten apples, bananas, nectarines, peas, carrots, plums, and green beans. In the next few days we will give him some sweet potatoes. I am still making all his baby food from fresh produce. He loves solids. He will stare you down if you are eating in front of him.
Jake is doing well. He just completed a training exercise with his company. It sounds like they did really well. As of now, It is sounding like that is the last thing they had to do. So we will see!! love to you all!
